    INNOVATION: ARE YOU TALKING THE WALK OR WALKING THE TALK?The Bangkok Post Business section picked up on our Innovation Management research, and used a few of the findings to kick off an article on Innovation. "INNOVATION: ARE YOU TALKING THE WALK OR WALKING THE TALK? These days, it's impossible to read the business news without finding articles referring to the world of innovation. Companies proclaim they will grow faster than their competitors because they are going to innovate better products.

  • Keeping Up With The Conversation

But it sure as heck wasn't obvious to me during the last 20 years of my management career.Let's make this concrete. To assess whether someone keeps up, I increasingly ask myself one question: do I want to talk to person X about problem Y?There are three primary reasons why I…

After attending the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston last June, I blogged that for me, the show came down to an acronym – CIT, which stood for Culture, Innovation and Twitter.

    A business enterprise is really nothing more than a large community.

If that purpose is forgotten or becomes irrelevant, the company will slowly decay and, ultimately, fail. The implication of this observation is that corporate managers [...]

  • Stop Blaming IT

    At the Interop conference yesterday I heard a familiar refrain: "IT is the problem." The epithet was issued by a cloud computing guru, but you could replace "cloud computing" with nearly any emerging technology and hear the same thing. Enterprise IT just doesn't adopt new technologies as fast as many consultants and analysts would wish. In this case, the argument was doubly specious because the cloud consultant: 1) accused IT managers of trying to subvert the business to keep their jobs (impugning motives is rarely a winning argument); and 2) accused IT managers of…

    Earlier this year I caused quite a stir when I predicted the death of taxonomies. Taxonomists worldwide told me I was an idiot, nuts, completely delusional. Some were deeply concerned that their jobs were threatened, as if employers would change org charts based on my prediction. Others secretly told me they agreed. Of course, as so often happens in these dark days of 140-character tweets, my prediction was often taken out of context. I had predicted the death of traditional, monolithic, and single-hierarchy taxonomies, as well as the death of what I’d call the typical…

  • CMIS Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) – Public Review of Version 1.0 begins

    ecmblog
    8 Nov 2009 | 9:46 pm
    Around two-and-a-half years ago (at the AIIM conference in Philadelphia in May of 2006), my counterparts at IBM and EMC and I started discussing the need to form a group to create an open services standard for interacting with Enterprise Content Management systems (like SharePoint, IBM FileNet P8, EMC Documentum, etc.) in a uniform way. An earlier blog post explained the full rationale – but in short many customers and partners made it apparent that having to create one-off "connectors" between each application (like eDiscovery applications, Portals or Business Process Management systems)…

  • Publishing Sites: Field Controls or Web Parts... That is the Question!

    ecmblog
    9 Oct 2008 | 12:40 am
    There isn't a week that goes by where I don't get an email asking me this very question.  More often than not, its because someone has been using the Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) when they should have been using the Publishing HTML field type.  This mistake typically goes unnoticed until a customer needs to roll back to a previous version of a page or when they run a content deployment job.  So what goes wrong?  Well, the CEWP doesn't store version history, it doesn't participate in any publishing approval workflow and it does store absolute URLs rather than…

  • Announcing the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) specification

    Today, we're excited to announce the launch of a standards effort for Enterprise Content Management systems that Microsoft has been driving with several other major vendors (IBM, EMC, Alfresco, OpenText, SAP, Oracle) called "Content Management Interoperability Services" (or CMIS, for short). The goal of CMIS is to define a web services standard for interacting with Enterprise Content Management systems like Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, EMC Documentum, IBM FileNet P8, etc. Why: Integrating multiple ECM systems is hard We've heard from many organizations that want to use SharePoint, but…

    If there are two things modern comms technologies have taught us, it is the power and danger of herd behaviour and that if something can be manipulated, it will be manipulated. Despite the enormity of the dotcom boom and bust and the even greater enormity of the credit crunch, both of which were driven by technology fueled herd behaviour, we continue to rush headlong into the ‘next big thing’ – until it comes crashing down around our ears again. Likewise, the massive growth of Google over the last decade has led to the equally massive growth of an industry whose sole purpose…

  • Who should #fixwcm?

    12 Nov 2009 | 6:11 am
    It started with an intention to solve the world’s WCM problems at Aarhus09. Analysts felt that there is something broken in WCM that needs to be fixed. To figure out what exactly is broken they all jumped on twitter under #fixwcm hash tag and started tweeting it with whole lot of questions, comments, concerns, advices and inputs. What motivated me to write this post was the fact that most of the tweets were just raising the issues and none of the Analysts tried to address the way they would want to fix a particular issue. Then the tweets took bizarre turn and the blame game started. Fingers…

    Here's a great roundup of coverage by Jeff Eaton of Lullabot on the Drupal implementation at www.whitehouse.gov. What interested me most about what happened last week was the concerted effort that the Drupal community made to respond to Chris Wilson's screed. I'm not suggesting that the Drupal community approached anything close to a coordinated response, we're far from that. However, I saw the glimmers of it on Twitter, through some emails among shops, with some coordination from some people at Acquia, and -- as Jeff pointed out in his blog -- with some help from Drupal fans outside the…

  • On Matt Asay's "R.I.P., open-source evangelism"

    jbachana
    28 Oct 2009 | 2:50 pm
    Matt Asay recently posted a blog on the notion that there is no longer any need for the open-source community to evangelize open-source, since it is a fete compleat. You can find his blog post here. I don't believe the evangelism stops, however (when has it ever in the history of humankind?). My sense is that the next phase in evangelism will be on open-source's efficacy in the enterprise. Certainly organizations from Symantec to the New York Times to whitehouse.gov have added to the legitimacy of open-source Web content management systems in the marketplace for specific brand sites. However,…

    The White House's official internet home recently refreshed with Drupal as their foundation. Upon hearing the news, I, like so many open-source evangelists, was elated. Big win for Drupal and the open-source community. As my previous posts allude, I'm a big fan of Drupal. That being said, I have come to terms with the fact that it is flawed. I, like so many others, have blurted expletives at my innocent computer screen on account of Drupal's annoyances. While I wholeheartedly tout its strengths, Drupal does have its weaknesses. Still, seeing Obama's grinning face and knowing that Drupal was…

    Testing against an exact copy of a live site is essential to successful Drupal deployments. This, unfortunately, can be both time consuming and mind-numbingly tedious. If, for example, something goes wrong with an update script that changes the database schema you need to fix the issue, rebuild the database, and test again. A potentially laborious task. The process involves some variation of the following: Replace the staging database with the production database Update all the code to the latest development build using SVN Copy all the files not under version control (images, PDFs, etc.)…

    If you're not effectively managing your contracts, you're not effectively managing your business. It's as simple as that. A poorly managed contract leaves money on the table--discounts not taken, performance incentives achieved but unpaid, agreed upon price increases never enforced. Plus, an unmanaged contract is a potential source of regulatory and operational risk. The Contract--Much More than a Document Contracts touch virtually every area of the enterprise, defining relationships with partners, suppliers, customers, and even employees. Contracts should protect a business from…

Today any organization with a marketing or communications need, by which I mean every organization, has a need to manage rich media - whether it's for talking with customers, partners, or often just their own employees. Today the content companies are rapidly exploring an important new phase of media management, one in which their content frequently traverses the corporate…

    Rolling out a new CMS is a challenging proposition. How you train and support your web authors can make or break the success of your CMS adoption and overall website.  Beyond training on new technology, each user brings a different level of technical experience, enthusiasm and available time.  Not to mention they all use the website in different ways. Drop-in labs are a great way to make the rollout process smoother. A drop-in lab is simply a set time where you invite users to a working session with staff on hand to help. Not only will the labs help reduce support calls and e-mails, but…

You may already have what you need internally, so it may be worth looking inside your organization first. A DAM should  able to provide users with “for placement only” (FPO) assets for consideration in a project. These FPO assets could be watermarked by the DAM to easily discern between a lower quality FPO asset (which can not be published as is) and the approved asset for use in a project with…
